Two of Spanish football’s heavyweights clash on Sunday night when Barcelona travel to the Estadio Vicente Calderón to play Atlético Madrid.
Atlético have found some form in recent weeks, beating Sporting Gijón 4-1 last time out in La Liga, before travelling to Germany and beating Leverkusen 4-2.
On the other hand, things haven’t been going so well for Barcelona and it’s widely expected that Luis Enrique will leave the managerial post at the end of the season. The Catalan giants were thumped 4-0 by PSG in the Champions League and they had to wait until the 90th minute to defeat Leganes. They are six points ahead of Atletico in the table.
Stats
- Atlético have won their last three La Liga games, they are yet to win four games in a row this season.
- Barcelona are unbeaten at the Vicente Calderón in their last six meetings (W5 D1).
- Barcelona have scored 58 goals in their last 15 away games in La Liga.
